This presentation gives an overview of an effort to construct OSINT tools for Frontex (the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the Exter- nal Borders of the Member States of the European Union) that would facilitate automating the process of extracting structured knowledge from on-line news articles on border- security related events at the EU external borders and in related third countries, with a particular focus on incidents and developments which are of relevance in the context of illegal migration. This includes: (a) illegal migration incidents (e.g., illegal border corssing attempts), (b) related cross-border crimes (e.g., human trafficking), (c) related crisis events (e.g., terrorist attacks, outbreaks of infectious diseases, etc.).
